“Davey” wins in South Jordan

Sometimes Davey wins.

Goliath tumbled yesterday as residents in South Jordan rallied to protest the city’s possible action of selling a 4-acre Jordan River Park parcel to the LDS church or other developers. The city, made very aware of the loud opposition to this, basically “caved” and retracted their announcement of that possible decision-making action.

City officials tried to cover up by stating:
“I want to make it clear we were not poised to sell it to the church,” [Ricky]Horst[city manager] said. “If we did sell it, we would have to put it to the open market.”
Horst said the city is not disappointed to have dropped the idea.
“It was not a big deal to the city either way,” he said. “We just had a request from the church to look at it, so we said we’d look at it, and we did.”
